Permalink War On Children: Over a million Gaza children suffering mental health crisis

With symptoms ranging from nightmares to aggression, the psychological toll on Gaza children is unimaginable. | The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has raised the alarm over the mental health crisis affecting nearly all 1.1 million children in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli ongoing war in the blockaded territory.  In a report released Sunday, UNICEF revealed that Gaza’s children are grappling with nightmares, severe anxiety, and paralyzing fear caused by the relentless Israeli bombardments, the loss of family members, and the worsening humanitarian crisis.  The report also noted that at least 19,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned since the war started in October 2023. Mental health experts warn that the profound psychological effects of the war on these children could linger for generations.  This comes shortly after a recent study uncovered the harrowing impact of "Israel's" war on Gaza’s children, revealing that an overwhelming 96% feel their death is imminent and nearly half wish for it as an escape from their trauma. With symptoms ranging from nightmares to aggression, the psychological toll is unimaginable. Experts warn that the ongoing Israeli atrocities risk shaping a future defined by deep-rooted psychological scars.

НАТО направит в Балтийское море около десяти кораблей, пишут СМИ (РИА Новости)(07.01.2025) | NATO will send about ten ships to the Baltic Sea to protect underwater infrastructure, Finnish broadcaster YLE reported, citing sources. | “NATO will send naval forces to the Baltic Sea to protect important underwater structures. [...] In total, there will be about ten of them (ships. - Editor's note). They will remain at sea until April”, - stated in the material. According to YLE, the ships will begin to arrive at the end of the week. They will be located, for example, near energy and telecommunications cables and will become a “deterrent,” writes the publication.  The EstLink 2 power line between Finland and Estonia went down on Dec. 25, Finnish power grid company Fingrid reported. Finnish police suspect that the Cook Islands-flagged Eagle S vessel anchored to cut the EstLink 2 power cable and damaged four communication cables. Finnish Customs has claimed without evidence that the Eagle S is allegedly involved in the transportation of Russian energy resources.  Four undersea telecommunications cables failed on December 25 and 26. Three of them run between Finland and Estonia, and one cable links Finland to Germany. Law enforcers are investigating the case as aggravated damage. The criminal investigation is being led by the Finnish Central Criminal Police.  Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova expressed hope that the investigation will be brought to a conclusion and that the hysteria in the Western media over the alleged Russian and Chinese trace in the damage to cables in the Baltic Sea will subside.
